Essential improvements

Modern Windows installer

The Sierrahelp Starsiege Installer automatically applies the latest patch, rips all of the music tracks in high quality MP3 to play and loop in-game properly, adds a no-CD patch, and fixes the mouse issues on Windows 7.

Does not support the Tribes Universe freeware version. An alternative no-CD for the free version is available here.
